Hello friends! New to AUS and need some guidance.

I am from the US and just moved to Perth with my wife (who is Aussie). I’ve been on HRT for 7 years and have all my personal info/documentation updated (Passport, birth certificate, etc).

my bridging visa was recently approved and I have work rights and Medicare access. I am trying to understand what it is I need to do to be able to get my prescriptions started over here.

One of the biggest differences I am already aware of is that injectable estradiol is not a thing here like the states unless I go to a compounding pharmacy.

i have looked at the wiki on Trans.au and also reached out to TransFolk of WA for their recommended services list. Any other info about trans care in WA would be so greatly appreciated!

Thanks for being so welcoming, Australia! I’m loving my life here so far!
